¿Por qué va a ser más eficiente siempre el transporte público?

En Madrid, la mayor parte de los autobuses-metro están medio vacíos a todas horas, menos en las horas punta que tienen 4 personas por metro cuadrado, peor que borregos, lo que dista mucho de ser el ideal. Los políticos gastan en campañas publicitarias para convencer a la gente que use el transporte público que ellos mismos no usan. Por ejemplo, caundo era alcalde Gallardón se jactaba de no pisar el metro.

Presuponemos que el transporte privado es un vehículo de 2.500 kilos llevando a una persona de menos de 100, pero eso no tiene por qué ser así. Yo he montado en karts de 25 kilos que eran capaces de moverme a más de 100km/hora durante decenas de kilómetros. La razón por la que la gente no usa karts son múltiples, como por ejemplo para llevar equipaje en el maletero, llevar niños, el hecho de que no se fabriquen en masa(con lo que son caros en comparación con los coches), pero esas razones pueden cambiar en el futuro.

En concreto, en el momento que los coches se conduzcan sólos, ¿Por qué no vas a usar 2 karts cuando lo necesitas? Conduces el de delante y el de detrás te sigue, con el niño, con la compra, o con lo que sea. Si tienes más niños pues tienes un tren de karts.

No existe nada más eficiente que eso, y eso está a la vuelta de la esquina.

When I said "to make some people rich" I mean invading other countries is since Roman Empire a huge lucrative business.

The trillion dollars the Afghanistan and Iraq wars have moved, paid with printed money and exporting inflation to the rest of the world, has been very lucrative to some individuals in power.

Facebook itself has benefited a lot from the printing press too.

It is not a business that have created more value than what it captured, like Id did, but a company whose value comes from a mass deception of convincing people they are worth hundreds of times their income using mass media and people that benefited from this deception(early investors in facebook creating a facebook fashion in order to unload their stock into the people).

This is a Wow!! documentary that talks about data collected by governments to manipulate them:

https://archive.org/details...

The problem as other people says is not data being collected, but the asymmetric nature of this power.

The problem is people using this knowledge to force other people to invade countries like Iraq because 20 kids from an allied totalitarian country crashed planes on some buildings, in order to make some people rich.

The problem is sending thousand of people to war in Ukraine or elsewhere defending a coup d' etat, because somewhat when we do it it is good, like "we have to destroy capitalism in order to save it" theme of new era.

Have you saw the end of this?:

Cheap money means less value for our savings and insurance. That's why communists would like to see cheap money create economic chaos...

Really funny how all economist are controlled today(with keynesianism") to believe the opposite.

When they understand the reaction of the masses they could control it like puppets. This is serious stuff and the reason I hate so much the idea of facebook acquiring oculus. Is not just about games anymore.

Well, this is like programming, if while programming you start believing the computer made a mistake(it could happen, there are CPU bugs out there) then almost for sure you(not the computer) made a mistake. Today exposing a CPU bug has less probability to happen than winning the lottery, but if you ask novice programmer he always will tell you "it is a bug of the computer!!".

If you think that so many people is being stupid, then it is YOU who is being stupid. Some people, specially stupid people, are really afraid to admit they make mistakes, like everybody else.

This is a mistake from wrong data input. No matter how good a processor is, if the data introduced is wrong, the output is wrong(Garbage in garbage out):

You forgot that making a metal card takes more money than $50 to be made, as Starbucks claims, specially for normal people that could not mass produce it. It is limited edition and so it has value on its own.

With Ben Bernanke printing trillions with "Quantitative easings" the person who stores dollar bills in her pocket IS the stupid one.

Do you know how most discoveries are done? , someone is drunk with and idea that makes him work a lot for putting this idea to work, and they discovered the idea they thought about was wrong, but SOMETHING GREAT they didn't think about is discovered in the process.

Imagine being google founders, or any founder, if you doubt about you, you stop working. You know what the Teslamotors electric car makers said, we didn't thought it was going to be so difficult, IF WE KNEW PROBABLY WE DIDN'T HAD STARTED. Same happened with Pixar, trolltech, whatever.

Passion is what powers them all. Stop using your brain to stop you.
